Rule Text by Organization

GSU Girevoy Sport Union

The athlete must maintain contact with the platform at all times during the set. If any body part loses contact with the platform (stepping off), the 'Stop' command is issued and the set is terminated. Previously completed valid repetitions count as the score.

Comparison Analysis

Rules about maintaining contact with the competition platform during the set vary between organizations.

Consequence

GSU/IUKL: feet leaving the platform may result in a stop command. Some orgs are stricter about maintaining platform contact.

What All Organizations Agree On

  • Both organizations require the athlete to remain on the platform during the set

Athlete Impact: Stay on the platform. Stepping off can end your set.
